We spent the weekend at Jordanelle, wave running, boating, and camping. Jared proposed the idea four or five months ago, and so it was the first “sorta” Christensen family reunion. Wade and Katie didn’t make it to town, but Wynn and Heidi and Jacob and Melinda did. It was a fun weekend.
On Friday Jared & Velda and kids and Jacob and Wyatt and I and our kids headed up bright and early. Jared very generously rented two wave runners for the day, and we spent the day cruising around the lake on them. Later in the day Jena and kids and Harry & Lois and Heidi and kids came up. We had lunch, set up camp, and took turns on the wave runners. Later that evening Lance came with a boat, and Wynn flew in and got in late that night.
The next morning and following day we spend the day boating and wave running. We had thunder storms off and on for the two days, so it was a little hit and miss. The lake was pretty choppy so only the really good water-skiers got up. The rest of us just enjoyed boat rides. I was dragged though the water three times in my attempts at skiing.
Parley’s Canyon closed early that day due to construction, and there was a Ward Party that night that I was in charge of. So Wyatt and I had to take off about three to get through the canyon in time. We made it home and to the party, which went off without a hitch. Then we headed down to Highland to switch cars (we left our Jeep with the camp so they could pull the wave runners home). By the time we got to Highland at 8:30, everyone else was just barely getting home (in fact we beat some of them). We hung out another couple hours before finally heading home to get our crazy tired babies to bed.
